Twenty Years o Captive.

Tolono, ILL.,, Oct. ia remarkable
stony of adventure and captivity was
related at this place yesterday afternoon.
The narrator was 81. p. Osgood, aud the
weird tale was the history of his life.
At 16 he enlisted in the second dra-
goons, q. s. A., at New Orleans. IN
1S43, and fought through the Mexican
war. He was with rwiggs' oommano
in Texas when the war between the
states broke out, but was transferred to
the east and took part In the first battle
OF Bull Kun. He received his first
wound at Vicksburg, and now carries
seven bullets in his body. Gen. Winder
accidentally shot him through the head
at Andersonville, where he was q prison
or eleven months and five days. At the
close OF the war he was transferred from
Mobile back to Texas. In 1866 he was
captured on the Rio Grapde by ban
of Mexican bandits and held q prisoner
by them nearly twenty-five years, during
which time he made several Intellectual
at empt to escape. in the last OF which
he received two terrible wounds. neither
OF which has yet healed. One is or his
forehead, and the other, inflicted with q
copper missile in his breast is six inches
in diameter, Lest April the Mexican
troops surprised his osptors and made
them all prisoners, himself included.
He told the story of his captivity and
was given an opportunity to prove his
citizenship, which he succeeded in doing
and was then forwarded to the American
consul general OF Mexico. who sent him
to Vers Cruz, where the viee-eonanl
provided him passage to New York. He
is now going to his parents and Other
relatives supposed to be living neal
Alton, Iii. His right hand and foot are
partly gone, and his whole body 10 q mssi
Of wounds. No less than three gunshot'
have passed through his head He il
a most pitable object and his story bear:
eyery appearance OF truth.

Proceedings of the Sup srnumerary
Board of insaae Hospital Trustees.
The visit of the new board OF trustees
of the Yankton hospital for the insane,
to the hospital yesterday afternoon was
not characterized by anything exciting,
and the board seemed TO drop into its
assumed positions as though il really
belonged there.
The board took q double carriage and
was driven out to the hospital and up
on reaching its destination Its members
were met by Superintendent Cravens,
who produced his private box
of cigars and sat down with
the visitors to chat Soon after the
board came General Templeton, whose
hand and voice have directed many
things, and he joined the party in max
ing fun Of itself. Alter a short rest, the
board and General Templeton went over
the building, escorted by DIR. Orsvens,
and after looking at everything, iaolud-
ing several of the pretty lady attendants,
who by the way glanced shyly at the
form and face OF handsome Colonel Gale,
the board repaired to the reception or
trustees room and began the transaction
OF business.
Colonel Gale assumed the duties of
chairman and Mr.. Quigley iotted down
the proceedings. The first business was
the examination and approval OF the
vouchers to pay the labor and mainte-
nance bills against the institution for
September, previously examined and az
proved By the legal board, This work
consumed two hours. ALI the vouchers
thus examined now bear the signatures
of two presidents of boards of trustees
and are labelled thus: Examined and
approved, October 1st 1887. VIM. Nj
Powers, president board of trustees
Under this endorsement appears: eek
amined end approved, October 18th
1887. F. A, Gale, president board o.

Dan W. Maratte, of Dakota, was among
